John 15:16-19

NSB(i) 16 »You did not choose me. I chose you and appointed you. You should go and bear fruit and your fruit should remain. Whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 »These things I command you, that you may love one another. 18 »If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 »If you were of the world, the world would love its own. I chose you out of the world. The world hates you because you are not of the world.
